Happy Halloween

Aside from carving out a rather splendid pumpkin and watching scary movies, I wanted to celebrate Halloween by revealing a little more about the horror feature I directed, that's currently in post-production.

So I thought I'd do a little Q&A.

What's it called Dan?STORMHOUSE

What's it about?It's set in 2002 on a British military base. The military have caught and imprisoned a supernatural entity.

When is it out?2011

Why horror?I rather like the horror genre, and I wanted to make a horror that was an unashamed full-on horror film.It's a great script that Jason Arnopp wrote, full of suspense, atmosphere, shocks, jumps, gore, and some fiendishly dark twists.

Do you like scaring people?Yes. Yes I do.

What's so different about Stormhouse?We are not reinventing the wheel or trying to be clever. We set out to make a horror film that has the chilling atmosphere of The Exorcist combined with the visceral energy of modern horror.Put simply, it's a horror film for horror fans, by horror fans. we know what the horror audience expect and we want to give it to them.
